A wave of recent neuroscience research has identified specific molecular and cellular mechanisms through which alcohol disrupts signaling between brain cells, offering a sharper picture of how ...

Cell signalling pathways are central to maintaining cellular homeostasis and regulating essential functions such as proliferation, apoptosis, and repair. In both cancer and neurodegenerative diseases, ...

Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic autoimmune disease that affects millions of people worldwide. This disease prompts the ...

Autophagy is essentially the 'rubbish collection' of our cells. If there are problems in this process, which is so important for our health, diseases such as Parkinson's can result. In their latest ...

Cell- and animal-based models of bone formation reveal novel mechanisms involved in the cartilage-to-bone phenotype ...

Colorectal cancer remains one of the leading causes of cancer-related mortality worldwide, largely due to metastasis and ...

Every multicellular organism, from tiny worms to humans, elephants, and whales, needs a way for their cells to connect with each other to form tissues, organs, and organize their overall body plan.

Cancer-fighting T cells do not simply "run out of energy." They are molecularly reprogrammed. For years, mitochondrial ...

When a cell receives a message from outside, it generates a molecule called cyclic AMP (cAMP) to relay this message. To ensure the signal reaches the correct effector without triggering pathways ...

Dental pulp regeneration remains a major clinical challenge. Researchers have discovered that SMAD7 directly forms a ...

Scientists at the University of Science and Technology of China have identified a signaling chain that starts with gut bacteria, triggers serotonin release from intestinal cells, and ends with liver ...
